Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1476: Giving You Face, Just Based on You?**

Indeed, Lin Moyu quickly understood why. As they continued to approach, the temperature kept rising.

Lin Moyu suddenly realized that the increase in temperature was not affecting his physical body but his soul.

It felt as if a fire was continuously burning his soul.

His soul world seemed to be gradually heating up, and the purple jade barrier of his soul world seemed unable to resist this heat.

His soul felt uneasy, as if it were sitting on flames.

Zhu Qiwu’s voice came, “Do you feel it?”

Lin Moyu nodded, “Those God Sovereign-level star beasts avoid this place because it’s too hot.”

“The burning heat benefits them, so they don’t fight here.”

It’s like a water source in a forest, where various animals often drink. Predators rarely hunt at the water source because it benefits them, and they instinctively avoid damaging it.

Of course, star beasts are far more intelligent than ordinary animals. Their choice not to fight here is just one reason.

Lin Moyu also thought of other possibilities. His soul quality was relatively high, so he didn’t feel the initial heat. But those God Sovereign-level star beasts had long felt the heat.

They determined their location based on the limits they could endure.

Zhu Qiwu said, “Your soul has reached the fifth grade, so you can get closer.”

“If an ordinary God Sovereign gets too close, their soul will be burned to death.”

Zhu Qiwu’s words confirmed Lin Moyu’s guess.

“Is there any benefit to absorbing the heat?”

Apart from feeling the burning sensation in his soul, Lin Moyu didn’t feel any benefits. But the unusual behavior of these star beasts must have a reason.

Zhu Qiwu smiled but didn’t answer, once again keeping him in suspense.

The two flew a long distance, and with the special ability of the beast skin, all the star beasts ignored them.

The closer they got to the fiery red star, the stronger the heat became. Lin Moyu’s soul also felt some discomfort, but it was still within his tolerance.

At this point, the star beasts they encountered had auras reaching the peak of the God Sovereign level, extremely powerful.

The fiery red star gradually grew larger in their sight, and Lin Moyu’s eyes widened in surprise.

What he saw was not a red star but a giant bird.

This fiery red giant bird was curled up, its body enveloped in fiery red flames.

The giant bird was unimaginably large. It curled up its body, and its fiery wings were tightly folded, as if embracing something.

Its body length exceeded 100,000 kilometers, comparable to some small stars.

If it spread its wings, it might cover a star.

But Lin Moyu noticed something unusual. Even as calm as he was, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is its soul.”

A soul reaching 100,000 kilometers—what kind of concept was that? How could such a creature exist in the world?

If its soul was so huge, how big would its physical body be?

Generally, the larger the star beast, the stronger its power.

Lin Moyu thought that the combat power of this giant bird might not be much weaker than the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, “Is this a primordial bird?”

In his knowledge, only a primordial bird could reach such a level.

Zhu Qiwu shook his head, denying Lin Moyu’s guess, “This is a Vermilion Bird.”

Vermilion Bird!

Lin Moyu realized he had misunderstood. This was the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, so the giant bird before him should indeed be a Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird was a legendary star beast, and its existence was uncertain. Many believed it was just a legend and didn’t really exist.

Lin Moyu suddenly thought of a question, “If that’s the case, do the Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger also exist?”

Zhu Qiwu smiled, “Indeed, they are at the centers of the four battlefields.”

“The Vermilion Bird is a star beast. Its power is useless to us humans, but it’s a great supplement for other star beasts.”

Lin Moyu finally understood, “It’s said that the Vermilion Bird existed in ancient times. Its death might be related to the great war of that era.”

The Vermilion Bird before him was already dead, existing only as an unconscious soul.

But for a soul to exist from ancient times until now was truly terrifying.

Zhu Qiwu said, “The higher-ups are also researching, but they still haven’t figured it out. What happened in ancient times that even beings like the Vermilion Bird fell?”

Lin Moyu thought to himself, “What’s so strange about the Vermilion Bird falling? Didn’t the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast also fall? It’s been so long since ancient times; it’s not easy to understand.”

He looked at the Vermilion Bird and seemed to see something, his pupils suddenly contracting, “This is…”

Zhu Qiwu said, “Do you see it?”

Lin Moyu nodded, his gaze fixed, carefully observing.

In the Vermilion Bird’s abdomen, there was a giant egg.

The egg was smooth and also emitted a fiery red glow, intertwined with the Vermilion Bird’s flames, hidden within the flames.

If not looked at carefully, it would be easily overlooked.

Lin Moyu sensed the breath of life from the egg; it was alive.

He summoned a Skeleton God Warrior, intending to observe with the undead vision.

But as soon as the Skeleton God Warrior appeared, it was instantly burned to ashes.

The Vermilion Bird’s flames burned the soul of the Skeleton God Warrior, not even lasting 0.1 seconds.

Here, not to mention the Skeleton God Warrior, even a Skeleton God General couldn’t survive.

Zhu Qiwu said, “You didn’t see wrong; this is the Vermilion Bird’s egg.”

“It’s said that the Vermilion Bird has the ability to be reborn in flames.”

“But no one knows the specific method of this rebirth. This egg also comes from ancient times.”

“In the earliest records, there was no breath of life in the egg. It wasn’t until ten thousand years ago that the breath of life suddenly appeared in the egg.”

“We once thought the Vermilion Bird was about to be reborn. If it were to be reborn, the existence of the Vermilion Bird Battlefield would become a big problem.”

“But after ten thousand years, both the Vermilion Bird and its egg have remained unchanged, with no movement.”

Lin Moyu looked at Zhu Qiwu, “Do you mean for me to take the egg?”

Zhu Qiwu rolled his eyes, “Giving you face? Just based on you, you think you can take the egg? To be honest, even a Beyond Realm expert can’t get close. The Vermilion Bird’s flames are enough to burn a Beyond Realm expert’s soul to death.”

“Otherwise, do you think this egg would still be peacefully here after all these years?”

Thinking about it, Lin Moyu realized he had been overconfident. Given his current realm, how could everything be about him?

Zhu Qiwu continued, “I brought you here to let you know about the deepest secrets of the four battlefields.”

“I believe you will reach the Beyond Realm in the future, and then you will touch upon some matters.”

“In fact, you’ve already touched upon them, so it’s no big deal to let you know in advance.”

“This bird egg is coveted by many races and many Beyond Realm experts.”

“In the future, if you reach the Beyond Realm, you might have a chance to get it.”

“If you can obtain the Vermilion Bird, you’ll be incredibly powerful.”

Seeing Zhu Qiwu’s serious expression, Lin Moyu laughed, “You have too much faith in me.”

Zhu Qiwu snorted, “Just encouraging you, giving you a goal.”

Lin Moyu laughed, “Alright, I’ll accept this encouragement.”

Although he spoke modestly, Lin Moyu felt he might have a chance.

If he could really get this bird egg and hatch the Vermilion Bird, he would indeed be incredibly powerful. Having the Vermilion Bird as a mount would be more impressive than any warship.
